Coffee and Coins Don't Mix



The wife and I went out to visit my grandparents last weekend. When we go to my grandparents we always take the toll roads. We stuck a $20 into the toll machine and we got dollar coins back.....no worries there, it's still money, right??

On the way home, the kids were asleep in the back of the car and we decided to stop off at Starbucks to get drinks.

I give her about 10 of our $1 coins and off she went into Starbucks. I stayed in the car with the kids.

When she came out, she had the funniest story.....the girl behind the counter looked at coins and then turned to another barista and said...."We take these, right?"

REALLY?? Is that even a valid question? It's U.S. tender....why wouldn't they take it?

Has our society become so dependant on plastic??

McDonald's Video Game

A few months ago, I came across this video game. If you like the Sims or other "Sim" type games, you'll get a kick outta this one.

The game itself has you running the McDonald's Corporation. From harvesting soy fields and raising and slaughtering cattle to managing a restaurant. Then to the corporate headquarters....and you have to do all four at the same time!!

It's an addicting game, to say the least. My best score is January 2015.

Fun stuff though!

Check it out!

You can downlaod it here.
